Sharing Photos to Instagram on iOS

Sharing your photos to Instagram with Mylio is easy, quick, and just a few taps away.

There are two ways to share your photos to Instagram. First, you can do so by sharing with the iOS share sheet. This allows you to send your photo directly to Instagram with your Mylio edits and post it to Instagram without ever leaving Mylio. Alternatively, you can open an image in Instagram from Mylio. This option allows you to edit your photo using Instagram’s editing tools as well as add location information, tag friends, and post to multiple social networks at once.

Mylio can share your Preview and Original quality photos to Instagram. If you have photos in Thumbnail quality on your device, you can easily retrieve a Preview version by adding the photo to an album, editing it, or rating it – this will make Mylio fetch the preview. You can also adjust the photo’s sync policy to sync the Preview or Original.

Note: you must have the Instagram app installed in order to share your photos from Mylio to Instagram.

Note: videos and groups of photos may not be exported to Instagram.
